I had a woman, all's she did was run me down,
She changed our love to jealousy, and my smile into a frown.
Now I've been hurt so many times, but I guess I'll never learn.
Now I'm standin' in confusion, I don't know which way to turn.
'Cause I still love that woman, please don't ask me why,
We can make it if we try.
She passed by in a limousine, and slowly waved her hand,
A mink around her shoulders, and her arms around a man.
Now I was so amazed I couldn't find a thing to say,
Just stood awhile and tried to smile, but she looked the other way.
Cruisin' through the city, she almost knocked me down,
I jump back when I hear that sound.
Don't run me down - Don't run me down - Don't run me down.
My nerves are shakin' and my heart is breakin', don't run me down!
Here stands a troubled man who's tired of bein' abused,
I'm tired of walkin' by myself, bewildered and confused.
I've got to leave you baby, but I just can't let you go,
Now I'm inclined to change my mind when tears begin to flow.
Run me down, turn me around, I say no but you do it anyway.
You tell me lies, but I've got wise. What can I say? What can I say?
Don't run me down - Don't run me down - Don't run me down,
My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down!
